June 8, 1986

REGINA, SASKATCHEWAN — Opposition Leader Allan Blakeney has urged Saskatchewan Premier Grant Devine to intervene in a dispute with the province's doctors. Blakeney, the province's New Democratic Party leader and former premier, commented as 45 doctors in the Swift Current area withheld all but emergency services Thursday. He said that until the dispute ends, the government must ensure access to medical services if work strikes continue.
